Yep, sometimes the stuff gets through. But it's totally random.
We can send adult stuff to an address in Canada for months
with no problems, and then suddenly, if a Canadian Customs
guy does a random search of a package, the delivery address
and our address go into a file and those packages get searched
and/or seized. It's really weird. Technically, according to the law,
adult material is not allowed to be imported into Canada, though
they don't enforce it all the time.
If it's a huge shipment of comics or books though, you can bet
there will be more problems. A lesbian bookstore called Little
Sisters in Canada recently had a fundraiser to fight a court battle
over a shipment of erotica novels that were seized by customs
on their way into the country. Other shipments they had got
through. It's completely random.
Interesting trivia: technically, it is also illegal to send adult
material into the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong and
Japan. But we can sneak stuff in a lot of the time. There's just a
risk involved of seizure by Customs officials.
